Sure but you moved the goalpost from ''they weren't allowed'' to "they aren't being honest

No. I included the lack of honesty in my original explanation.

If anyone's moving goalposts, it's you with your constant shifting from one point to the other to excuse their behavior.

If they are pushing the boundaries of permissive licensing then yeah that is really concerning.

Unless OP is a total lie, they clearly are.

Why are you assuming I am excusing their behaviour?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because you keep grasping for completely hypothetical scenarios in which it's excusable.

Would you find it acceptable if their claims at face value were true?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Another unlikely hypothetical.

Their claims are almost certainly not true. Which is part of the problem.

You're just refusing to engage with point. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No. You keep restating points I've already addressed, pretending that I haven't.

Yeah, its a strategy when you want someone to understand something they clearly haven't. You restate it in different words. You may have addressed it, that doesn't mean you understood my position. I don't mean that to sound bitchy btw. 😅 We just chatting. We cool. 👉 👉
